路加福音二章最後的一個段落記述了耶穌童年時在耶路撒冷的兩個有關尋索的事件。耶穌肉身的父母要尋找耶穌，最後他們在耶路撒冷的聖殿中尋得祂；然而，耶穌也在二章的這個段落中展開祂的尋索之旅，祂要尋索祂屬靈的家庭。祂先在耶路撒冷的聖殿中尋得祂屬靈的父親，然後繼續祂尋索的旅程──尋找這個屬靈家庭的其他成員。八章是正式的進入屬靈家庭的課題，耶穌在這章經文中清楚宣告了成為屬靈家人的準則與要求，在十九章的記述中，撒該準確的滿足這要求，他要清晰的成為耶穌屬靈家庭的家人，而這也是早在二至三章的經文中已有所預告的了。

ABSTRACT

Luke 2 contains narration of Jesus’ journey with his parents to Jerusalem while he is twelve years old. Jesus’ parents have lost Jesus and they try to seek him; in fact, this is a narration of two stories about seeking: physical and spiritual. Jesus’ physical parents return to Jerusalem and try to seek Jesus, they finally find their son in the temple of God; this is an important place of Jesus’ spiritual family: he is with his spiritual father in the temple. Starting from chapter 2 Jesus begins his journey in seeking other members of his spiritual family; chapter 8 states an important criterion of being qualified as a member of this spiritual family, Zacchaeus in chapter 19 is a person who has perfectly fulfilled this criterion and he becomes a member of Jesus’ spiritual family member, and this is already foretold in chapter 2 to 3.
